ABOUT THE AZTECS: San Diego State (16-0, 5-0 MW) is one of two remaining undefeated teams in the country (Auburn) and ranked No. 7 in both national polls. Guard Malachi Flynn leads the team with 16.1 points and five assists per game. The Aztecs are shooting 38 percent from three-point range, while limiting opponents to 26.2 percent from beyond the arc, the eighth-best three-point percentage defense in the country.

SERIES HISTORY: San Diego State leads the all-time series 12-7. The teams have traded the last six meetings, with the Broncos winning three times in Boise and the Aztecs winning twice at home and once on a neutral court at the conference tournament. Boise State has won six of the last 10 meetings.

JESSUP CLIMBS TO NO. 1: Boise State senior Justinian Jessup broke Boise State's career three-point record Wednesday, against UNLV. Jessup entered the game tied with Anthony Drmic's (2011-16) for the all-time mark, before breaking the record late in the first half on his first of five triples in the game. Jessup is now fourth on the Mountain West's all-time three-point list. His 280 three-pointers are 16 shy of tying Jimmer Fredette's conference record and 20 away from becoming the first player in league history to make 300 triples.

RANKED ROAD OPPONENTS: Boise State has won three road games against ranked opponents in program history, picking up two of those wins during Leon Rice's tenure. The Broncos' most recent road win over a ranked team came at Viejas Arena, against No. 24 San Diego State (Feb. 28, 2015). Rice also guided Boise State to a win at No. 11 Creighton (Nov. 28, 2012), the highest-ranked road win in school history.
